If you get curious to try FreeBSD again sometime, if money is not a problem for you, I would install an extra NVMe or SATA SSD in your desktop PC and install directly to that. This way you get a simpler installation, don't risk zapping your old OS (Linux?), get fast boot times and can just...
I did use older FreeBSD images on various Pis. There were no steps other than burning the SD card. It boots into a full OS, there is no installer.
Which Pi do you have, exactly?
Let's keep it simple. Has anyone successfully installed https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.3/FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz on a Raspberry Pi recently? If so, can they list the precise steps please? If no one has actually done this then any other suggestions...
Also what we could try to do, is make a SD card image of already-setup FreeBSD for some Raspberry Pi, with the choice of software Peter would like to have.
Hey, you seem to be misdirected by Linux desktop affairs.
FreeBSD like all Unices is a server OS. This doesn't mean it's not very very usable on the desktop, but it is not an out-of-the-box desktop experience.
Let me just say upfront if you're happy with Linux there is no need to switch to...
I would not install a full blown desktop on the RPI 3b. Rather, Xorg minimal (x11/xorg-minimal), the x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb video driver, Openbox window manager (x11-wm/openbox) and tint2 (x11/tint). This is a lighweight graphical environment which should run ok with this little amount of...
For a beginner transitioning from other Unixes or from Linux, UFS is easier: The commands to format, mount and manage the file system are traditional. In the long run, ZFS is the far better file system.
On a Raspberry Pi 3B (only 1 gig of memory), and running in a VM with a second operating...
But how much is Linux capable of running Android apps ? The idea would be to install them directly on Linux or emulate it with qemu-kvm...or even Android with bhyve for FreeBSD (x86/64 bit or on Arm),but that's more complicated. And then I could install the bank app inside the virtual machine...
In the world of FreeBSD there is only one OS: it's called FreeBSD, which comes in numbered versions. There are FreeBSD-derivatives, but those are *not* FreeBSD itself. FreeBSD does not have "distributions" in the same way Linux has.
If you want to run on a Raspberry Pi 3B (a 64-bit one)...
Hiyall,
I have been a Linux user for 7 years and have enjoyed the ride and am now turning my attention to Free BSD.
I want to install it on my LEAST efficient hardware: Raspberry Pi 3b.
Please recommend:
1. Which format
2. Which O/S
Only safe and reliable, please.
Ancillary question: can it be...
for years I am running small application on Pi 1b+, as it doesn't require much CPU nor memory. Since it is armv6 based the end will come with freebsd 13.5.
Therefore I am looking for a replacement, that runs ideally on arm64, has a similar size and most important, doesn't have noticeable more...

Hi,
After running the benchmarks/stream bench tool on both official FreeBSD 14.0 and 14.3 Raspberry PI 5 it seems that on the same hardware the 14.3 is consistently slower (~5-10%).
We also see this on custom ARM Cortex-A72 hardware where similar performance degradation is visible also in other...
Use your phone for banking. Make sure that there's no lingering processes or accounts on your phone.
Though, I've needed Chrome for another purpose. Chrome requires Linux compat. Don't recall if I tried if www/chromium would work for purposes, but I believe it didn't.
If I had to, I'd use a...
dear all,
i perused the forum and handbook in search of a thread about using *android studio* but failed to find something recent, do not hesitate to let me know if i missed it.
it seemed people used the linux compatibility layer but an often read sentence was "not impossible but a massive...
15.0-BETA1 on the Raspberry Pi 4b is much better than 14.3 but:
- The default WiFi interface isn't detected, unlike NetBSD 11 Beta (which is also better than 10.1) & OpenBSD 7.8
- It gets stuck in a loop when I use an USB hub to plug a USB Wireless dongle.
- U-boot sucks.
But anyway I think...
